  • WE ALL MUST FIGHT THE CANCER

<’h1′ itemprop="headline" >’

One aspect that sets US apart from other cancer related institutions is its commitment to the discovery of cures or treatment for cancer.

Its investments are long term and in the best researchers in the country who demonstrate the most potential to succeed at the highest level. As the thought of cancer often instills great fear and is perceived as fatal, MAKNA aspires to take on the challenge to change this perception and to give hope to cancer patients.

Cancer awareness, talks and exhibitions

Our Cancer Awareness and Education team has been spreading messages about cancer for many years now. The team accepts requests to speak about cancer, conduct breast self examinations and put on educational presentations and exhibitions to increase the understanding of cancer.

To maintain our exhibitions’ appeal, new materials that can boost the understanding of cancer are consistently upgraded and added. Currently, there is a variety of exhibition packages that can be selected or even tailored to the wishes of clients. The charitable act of donating packages to deserving groups or communities of the client’s choice is also possible.
